Inquiry with Kelly Chase

by Kelly Chase

Inquiry with Kelly Chase is an investigative podcast about how we know what we know—and what happens when official reality stops making sense. Drawing on the history of psychological operations, ufology, psi phenomena, consciousness research, and anomalous experience, Kelly Chase investigates the places where reality misbehaves—because those are the places where it most often tells the truth. Presented by SpectreVision Radio This is also where you can find the archive for Kelly's previous shows—Cosmosis and The UFO Rabbit Hole. Kelly Chase is a writer, researcher, executive producer, and public speaker whose work focuses on anomalous phenomena, consciousness, and narrative. She is the writer and executive producer of Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality, the host of Inquiry with Kelly Chase, and the former host of The UFO Rabbit Hole, and has been featured in UFO Revolution (TMZ) and Beyond (Bad Robot). Her work centers fidelity to firsthand testimony, ethical storytelling, and intellectual rigor over spectacle.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

i greatly enjoy kelly’s inquiries and hearing her think through connections between disparate subjects. this is building to something uniquely great and i’m excited for every episode!

Burping to the gym · Sep 2026

Kelly approaches subjects in a very intelligent, in-depth way which provokes thought. My one criticism is that she reads verbatim from pre-written material that sounds like it was carefully crafted for a college grade. I wish she could show more spontaneity.

Dukessmanukess · Jun 2026

By systematically homing in on central philosophical questions and implications, and by doing so in such a concise and lucid manner, Kelly Chase continues to be an invaluable participant in discussions of the anomalous.

Kevin Runey · Jun 2026

If you’re looking for podcasts about anomalous phenomena, their implications, and our relationship to them, Inquiry should be one of your first stops. Kelly is both brilliant and grounded, quickly becoming one of the leading voices in the new generation of ufology.

Sage Alexander · Jun 2026

First it was “UFO Rabbit Hole,” the earnest explorations of one person to wade through the fraught field of UFOs and see what sense she could make of it. This felt genuine and honest, which was refreshing in a world of grifters and cranks. Even the missteps felt human. This is what drew me in. Then it was “Cosmosis,” the podcast arm of a documentary. This started to feel more promotional. The writing became less focused. The interviews meandered more and dealt with more personal inside baseball. Concerningly, I began to hear GPT-isms here and there in the scripts, but I brushed it off. Maybe it was a coincidence. Now it is “Inquiry.” It’s unclear what the point is now. Interesting seeds of ideas are buried under AI slop in the scripts. It’s supposed to be about how to think critically, but the writers are offloading their writing to an LLM? Bizarre. Whether it’s just market forces or some kind of meddling, at each step it got less genuine and more like a content mill. Really fell off.

Fanofcards · Apr 2026

First thing’s first: this is not journalism. In fact, this a text book example of “confirmation bias”. Does that it make unentertaining? Absolutely not! As an unintentional comedy or as a psychological case study at what can happen to someone (the host) in the world of the algorithm, it can be immensely fascinating. But there is no scientific rigor or critical thinking applied to its subject matter, so tread carefully & take it all with dump truck worth of salt.
